BEARING CONE W/SEAL, DRIVE WHL
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is unique about the BR 10680-054 bearing cone?
A: The BR 10680-054 is a bearing cone with an integrated seal designed specifically for drive wheel applications. The seal protects the bearing from contamination and moisture ingress in dynamic wheel environments.
Q: Why does the BR 10680-054 have a seal when other bearing cones do not?
A: Drive wheels are exposed to more environmental contaminants and moisture than static load wheels. The integrated seal on the BR 10680-054 provides additional protection against water, dirt, and debris that could compromise bearing performance.
Q: What equipment type uses the BR 10680-054 bearing cone?
A: The BR 10680-054 is engineered for electric lift trucks and pallet jacks that require a sealed bearing cone in the drive wheel assembly. Verify your equipment model and bearing position to confirm compatibility.
Q: Does the seal on the BR 10680-054 require maintenance?
A: The seal is a maintenance-free component designed to operate for the life of the bearing. However, inspect it periodically for damage or separation from the bearing cone. If the seal is compromised, bearing contamination and premature failure may occur.
Q: Can the seal be removed from the BR 10680-054 bearing cone?
A: The seal is an integral part of the BR 10680-054 design and is not intended to be removed or replaced separately. If the seal is damaged, the entire bearing cone must be replaced.
Q: What is the lifespan of the BR 10680-054 bearing cone with seal?
A: Bearing lifespan depends on equipment usage intensity, load conditions, and operating environment. The integral seal extends durability in wet or dirty conditions. Regular inspection and proper lubrication will maximize service life.
